Claret Blue and Green
I’m embarrassed to have slated Unai (many times) but tonight he got it spot on. He is clearly our best manager for a very long time, I just wish we played that way more often.
We'd better win on Thurs or he can do one.

We haven’t the squad, we haven’t the quality in depth. That’s way we sometimes play it slow, so we can be consistent throughout a whole season, which since he’s arrived we’ve been generally very good. At times it doesn’t work and we lose. Qualified for Europe well ahead of schedule, semi-finals three years running and a Champions League quarter final.
